MEMORANDUM OPINION
On January 24, 2006, Olidio Cantu filed various documents in this court including a pro se notice of appeal. In the notice of appeal, Cantu states that he feels his constitutional rights were violated when he was stopped on June 24, 2002, and arrested for possession of a controlled substance. Cantu states that allegations from the 2002 stop and arrest were used in the foreclosure of his business. Also included in the documents was a copy of a citation served on Cantu for a 2002 suit to collect back taxes.
When the notice of appeal and other documents were filed in this court, the clerk wrote the parties and advised them that it did not appear that an appeal had been timely or properly perfected. Cantu has replied and argues that he "feels that all allegations made are true" and asks for this court's "guidance." This court is invested with jurisdiction to consider appeals and original writs and is unable to give legal advice to parties before the court. TEX. CONST. art. V, § 6.
We note that a copy of a final, appealable judgment has not been filed in this court. Moreover, no reference has been made to a final, appealable judgment. Cantu has failed to invoke the jurisdiction of this court. TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN. § 22.220, 22.221 (Vernon 2004); TEX. R. APP. P. 25.1, 26.1.
The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
